Penny
Owned By Ollie Bannister
The Pennsylvania Railroad E2B Class was a class of six electric locomotives that were built by General Electric in 1952. They produced a total of 2,500hp and could achieve 65mph. Four of them were numbered 4939-4942, and the class were commonly used in three pairs. They had AC Traction Motors and could work in multiple control with existing PRR Locomotives. They generally did this with the Class P5A. Sadly the E2B Class along with the similar looking E3B Class were scrapped in 1964 and none of them are preserved. Ollie drove this 7 1/4 Inch Gauge version back in 2018 at East Herts Miniature Railway in Ware when Ollie was volunteering there and it was running at the railway’s 40th Anniversary Gala in the Summer of that year.
Rosie
Owned By Rose Green
Rosie was built in 2024 by Abbots Model Engineering.
This is our first ever pink loco to join our fleet. You can see Rosie at our bigger events but will not be pulling public yet as this is a junior members loco.
Rose is part of The Let's Play Project which is a charity that specialises in fun After-School clubs, Holiday activities and Youth Groups for Young People aged 5-25 with additional needs, in the Banbury area.
https://letsplaybanbury.org
Rose would like to start raising money for them as they have helped her out over the years.
As Rose is a junior member she can’t pull public yet as you got to be 16+. So what we are going to do is have a little pink collection bucket next to her loco at events and all the money raised will go to help The Let’s Play Project. She got the idea from The Little Pink Fordson and Daisy The Pink Fergie.
The railway will still raise money for the events chosen charity, but this is another little thing on the side that Rose would love to do.
Rosie The Pink Loco might pull a couple of trains at events but this will be driven by an Adult and will be at certain times of the day.
Road Locomotives
Garrett
Owned By Robert & Thomas Woolsey
This is a 3 1/2 inch model of a Garrett No 4 electric wagon built in 1919.
We are hoping to bring the Garrett to our bigger events. Yes all our volunteers are big kids.
If you see the Garrett driving around at our events be sure to give the driver a wave.
Garden Railway Locomotives
The Locomotives below run on our garden railway which is 32mm and 45mm track. This is 16mm gauge and Gauge 1.The steam engines run on gas burners and the diesels run on batteries. The Millie's and the Coffee Pot are hand controlled while the others are R/C controlled ( Saves you running down the garden after them ) We do sometimes take our locos to other clubs but most of the time they just run on our little garden railway.
